23. Mamak

Mamak is an unapologetic reflection of real Malay cooking, which pulls from other South Asian traditions (namely Chinese, Indian, and Singaporean) and blends them with a sure hand. Hainanese chicken over rice, wok-fried flat rice noodles with beef, and curry laksa are perennial favorites. (Closed Thursdays.)
